​Sweet Surrender (TLC)

in the moments just before the dawn
the alarm sounded, the church bells rang
and the cry went out - Life threatened

circle the wagons of well worn ways
build up the buttresses of old belief
take shelter in familiar songs
fortify the foundations of faith
take custody of chapters
vindicate each verse
dig deep the trenches of tradition
lengthen the levies of liturgy

the dawn broke through
and those who could see
knew it was too late 
lifted the soul’s white flag
Love’s insurgency was complete
